Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) represent an evolving technology in refractive surgery.
  • Current ICRS designs offer potential benefits over traditional refractive procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and advantages of current intrastromal corneal ring segment technology.
  • To highlight the significance of FDA approval for ICRS in refractive surgery.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the current design and clinical application of ICRS.
  • Analysis of safety, reversibility, adjustability, and central cornea preservation.

Main Results:

  • ICRS technology demonstrates a high safety profile in its current iteration.
  • Key advantages include preservation of the central cornea, and the procedures reversibility and adjustability.

Conclusions:

  • Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) are a safe and advantageous addition to refractive surgery.
  • The FDA approval signifies a unique procedural option for refractive surgeons.
